@fliegenei: Thank you for your comment. A cycling tour through the SKG sounds wonderful. Heaven on Earth. Lucky you!

Brett, you're very handsome and have a nice voice. Wish I could travel with you. Thanks for the humorous but fact-filled travelogue about my favorite movie.

Did you really said he was 47 and she 22 when they got married??? isn't that somethig called "a paedophile"?

[oktoberfest1810]

Yes, you heard correctly. Although it is not pedophilia because she was over the age of 16, some still may contest he was "robbing the cradle." To his defense, things were very different back then and this sort or marriage (well-to-do gentleman with young family minded woman) was not uncommon.

my god, didn't know such a place existed, it's perfect, I just wanna go in the fields of Salzburg and collapse, die and be buried right there. LOL

Just returned from Salzburg where we spent Christmas. We did the Sound of Music Tour and loved every moment of it. What an idyllic place and sooooooo beautiful in the winter.

Brett Interestingly narrated! :) You did a great research. Its a dream which i wish to happen soon to travel to Austria> and Salzburg. Such a picturesque> I LOVE TO COME TO AUSTRIA

My sister and I went to Austria back in the 80's and took the Sound of Music Tour. It was well worth it if you are a fan of the movie. They bring you to all the different sights and tell you alot of info that you didn't know about the filming of the movie. For example, the church they got married in looks like a large cathedral when she walks down the isle with her vail behind her, but really it's small inside. They filmed it at a certain angle and she walked slow to make you think that. :)
